The MZone has become more popular than Benny and I could have ever hoped or dreamed. And much of that success is owed to you, the MZone reader. You folks send us stuff that literally has us howling. We truly enjoy all the emails we get, even if its just a quick note saying how much you enjoy the site. Trust us when we say, sometimes it's things like that that keep us spending so much time keeping our little blog chugging along.

However, we now get so much email that to respond to each and every email individually - as we've tried to do in the past - has started to add much more time to our blogging day. Sometimes as much as working on the posts themselves. Which is tough because, while the MZone is a hobby we both love, we have these real jobs and - contrary to the stereotype of bloggers - relationships to maintain (ok, so it's just Benny's WARCRAFT clan group that his mom lets meet in their basement once a month, but still).

Thus, while we promise to continue to read each and every email we receive, we won't be able to reply to them all. It was either that or so long WARCRAFT. And that is a line in the sand (and Benny's mom's basement) we simply refuse to cross.

See, I am a tank and Benny is a Priest. I just went prot spec a few months ago after I got a nice drop from Rag in MC. I outrolled some noob and had crusader put on it. It pwned.

If we are gonna have a chance against Nax, we need Benny's full attention to buffs, dispells and heals. If he can't commit because of all the email, he will be docked some serious DKP. We don't need that kind of guild drama over on the message boards. It f*cks with our recruiting.

So what are you saying Yost and Benny, that you just want to be friends? Is that how it is? You're just bitches trying to act all that. Well quit trying to front like a special guest at Neverland Ranch. When I win Project Runway, you'll be coming back faster than Richard Gere with his gerbil.

BiB, I regret like hell some of the crap that I retained that I have heard opeople talking about. Why I retained the funny fact that Rchard Gere was accused of inserting a gerbil where it wouldn't normally want to go, but have trouble remembering to bring my lunch with me to work is beyond me.

I too was impressed at always getting a response from Yost to my emails.

By the way - does anyone get the login pop-up window to www.jcwharton.com, Wharton Family web, everytime they click into these comment areas here lately?

Well, that's my website, but I don't have a clue why that would be happening. I also thought it was only (and rightly) happening to me. The site has a blog hosted by Blogger, but I don't see how the two could have gotten crossed. I'll poke around on my end, but if anyone knows what I need to do to fix it, let me know at jim@jcwharton.net.

Jim, if it helps any, I can't see your picture next to your name. A tiny rectangle appears as though there MIGHT be an image there, but it's just a box. Also, I am blocked from pulling up your profile.

Combined with the login dialog box that keeps popping up, I get the feeling there is some kind of security issue with the Wharton family blog that is extended to you whenever you post somewhere else. There's probably a check box with a check in it somewhere that ought not to be checked.

In my Blogger profile, my photo is linked to a file on my site (which is password protected, because my wife is crazy paranoid about people seeing pictures of our daughter). When you try to view a comments page with one of my posts, you're also trying to access my site...yada, yada, yada.
